Help[Opinions] Re: Twins' names Malia and Maile - WDYT?
in reply to a message by Ylva
I dislike them both, and find them a pretty confusing twin set really. Too similar, and as a general rule I don't like Mal names, so Malia is out, and Maile, should be prn May-lee in my humble opinion.

They are Hawaiian
Therefore this pronounciation of Maile. And Malia is the Hawaiian form of Maria, so it has nothing to do with the Latin "mal".
I think both names are pretty but really confusing for twins.

You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams."
